1. FoodShare paternity and child support compliance
2017 Wisconsin Act 59 prohibits from being eligible for FoodShare benefits certain individuals and parents who refuse to cooperate in obtaining child support or determining the paternity of a child or who are delinquent in child support payments and do not satisfy an exception. Act 59 prohibits DHS from implementing these ineligibility provisions unless DCF determines the implementation may be done in a budget-neutral manner, DHS or DCF has approval from the federal government to implement the ineligibility provisions in a budget-neutral manner, and DHS and DCF notify the governor and JCF of the federal approval and implementation. This bill eliminates all of the ineligibility provisions in FoodShare for failing to comply with paternity and child support requirements in Act 59.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
